Andy Burham (2010) forever
Did Labour pick the wrong Miliband?
In this week's 'Since Attlee & Churchill' podcast, @LeeDavidEvansUK and I relitigate the 2010 Labour leadership election.
[Spoiler alert: I voted for Diane Abbott]

NEW: Members of the Co-operative Party have been told that Caitlin Prowle will become interim general secretary
Incumbent Joe Fortune was selected by Labour’s ruling NEC last week to be their GS
Prowle, a former Labour adviser and GMB officer, is the youngest ever Co-op GS at just 28

I'm absolutely delighted to see @FortuneJF appointed General Secretary of the Labour Party. Joe has the passion, experience and ideas to get the Party where it needs to be - I'm so excited to see how he takes us forward
Joe Fortune has been appointed as Labour’s next general secretary by a unanimous vote of the NEC (from a shortlist of one)
A source close to Fortune said:
"Joe has a proven record leading and running a political party and is respected across the labour movement for his near two decades of service.
"He will be an fantastic asset to the Labour Party at this crucial moment."

It's true! I'm gutted to have left the brilliant team at @labourunionsuk and I have huge shoes to fill at ASLEF, but I'm really looking forward to getting stuck into this role and working hard to get the very best for our train drivers and our railway 🚄✊🌹
Particularly like the use of the word “candidature”, the red squirrel to candidacy’s grey.
The Gibraltar FA has withdrawn its endorsement of Gianni Infantino’s candidature for the 2027 FIFA presidential election.

You replied to a tweet explaining that he was taking that course of action because he had left government ‘very recently’. You asked why he hadn’t told Angela ‘then’.
I was simply pointing out the difference between the two cases.
That’s my point. – at Paddington, London

This disgraceful act took place just days after the murder of a senior politician, the third of my colleagues in a decade.
It is a shared responsibility of all of us in our democracy to call out and condemn violence and threats against politicians.
I hope the Green Party leadership takes appropriate action this time.

Today's Royal Assent for the steel nationalisation bill is huge.
Ministers have saved the UK steel industry.
Now we need commitments to buy British for public infrastructure.
And we need a worker voice on the board of the new nationalised company - to keep British steel alive.
